Mid-winter warm-up After several days of heavy storms that left roads dangerously slick, unseasonably warm Wednesday weather caused snow-clogged roads to give way to wet streets that glistened in evening light. Davis County residents can expect even warmer temperatures on Thursday, with highs approaching 50, before temperatures drop to a more seasonable 36 on Friday, bringing a chance of snow.

n WX approves pre-disaster plan

WOODS CROSS — City council members passed the Federal Emergency Management Pre-disaster Mitigation Plan Tuesday, becoming the latest of cities in the county to approve the plan. All 15 must give their OK. The plan, which is required for jurisdictions to receive FEMA disaster funding in presidentially-declared disasters, is an update of a 2003 version. It asks jurisdic-

BOUNTIFUL — A 13year-old Clipper carrier collapsed in the snow snow Tuesday while on his route and is clinging to life. Noah Baker, of Centerville, was delivering papers on his Bountiful area route in the area of 1200 North and 900 East, when he reportedly collapsed in the snow, just after 3:30 p.m. His mother and sister, who were with him at the time, called for help. South Davis Metro Fire Agency Deputy Chief Jeff Bassett said crews were advised while en route that CPR was being performed at the scene. The young man had a heart condition and had a pacemaker implanted about a month ago, according to a family neighbor, Sherry Bothell. SDMFA crews took him to Lakeview Hospital where he was stabilized, before an intensive care ambulance was sent from Primary Children’s Medical Center. Bassett explained that because of the snowstorm the hospital couldn’t send an air ambulance to take him directly to Primary. Instead, a specially-equipped ambulance was sent to pick him up. Noah wasn’t expected to live through Wednesday. He had been a Clipper carrier since November 2007, and was described as a dedicated carrier who never missed on his route. mwilliams@davisclipper.com

FARMINGTON — Davis County officials are “in the process of identifying how we can streamline, get the best bang for the buck with anticipated cuts.” That was among comments from County Commission Chair Bret

Millburn, referring to lean times that translate into having to trim $1 billion from the state’s budget. “It (state cutbacks) may very well impact the county,” he said, “particularly on some concerns we have on mental health and human services. “The county is really kind’ve a pass through (entity for funding).

The majority of funds come through the state that allow us to provide those services,” Millburn said. Medicaid, for example, is a state pass through requiring matching funds, he said. “If some of these other funds are cut, that diminishes our ability to match for Medicaid. It n See “COUNTY,” p. A4

FARMINGTON — County Commissioner John Petroff may be the new man on the block, but he’s not letting that stop him from getting immersed in his new role. “I hope I will be able to live up to the quality of the other commissioners,” he said. He mentioned not only his current counterparts, Louenda Downs and Bret Millburn, but former commissioners Michael Cragun, Dannie McConkie and Carol Page. “My feeling about our county is that this seriously is a great place to live. I feel we have a county (government) that is headed in the right direction,” Petroff told the Clipper. Two major themes of his campaign that he intends to continue emphasizing are economic development and transportation. He has been involved with both issues for some time. While serving as mayor of West Point, that city joined with Clearfield and Syracuse to form a joint economic development zone to attract research-park and manufacturing-type businesses. Petroff also has served as chairman of the Wasatch Front Regional Council, whose main focus is transportation issues in a five-county area. In addition, he lives in arguably the fastest-growing part of the county. Its 2000 West, for example, has been strained to accommodate the thousands of new vehicles on the

Natural gas vehicles stall as cost advantage wanes BY SHAIN GILLET Clipper Staff Writer The rising price of compressed natural gas (CNG) has current and former CNG businesses in a quandary. “My CNG business died,” said Dave Bell, owner of Dave’s Complete Auto Service in Centerville. “I haven’t had a call (to convert to natural gas) since the price of gas went below $2 a gallon.” Bell said conversion to natural gas vehicles became popular after gasoline prices rose above $4 a gallon, which had residents in Davis County and elsewhere searching for alternative fuels.

“Mostly it’s the government,” he said. “They take advantage of the consumer until the consumer gets smarter, then they look for other ways to get around what the consumer already knows.” Bell said when the price of gas was well over $4 a gallon, he couldn’t keep up with the number of phone calls he was receiving from consumers wanting to convert to natural gas. “Now I can’t even get a single phone call,” he said. “That part of my business has practically died.” While his CNG business also has struggled, Lucas Kjar, owner of Go Natural CNG in Woods Cross, said he will start to look elsewhere if Utah

loses interest in natural gas. “Right now it’s hurting our business,” he said. “We are able to offer the consumer a chance to put in their own fill-up station that they simply pay out of their own pocket rather than giving it to a CNG station, but they are not taking advantage of it because of the current price of gas. “We are being affected, there’s no doubt right now, however, if the price of natural gas starts to compete with the price of regular gas in the next six months, we may have to start looking elsewhere.” “Everybody had started talking about alternan See “NATURAL GAS,” p.

KAYSVILLE — A Davis High School senior decided that all young women should be able to wear a nice dress for prom and is beginning a project to get dresses to high school girls who can’t necessarily afford them, or to those who simply need a dress. Senior Chanel Wright thought up this project, which is set up for Saturday, Jan. 24, to make a difference in her community and make sure that girls who may otherwise not be able to go to prom get a chance at that right of passage. Wright’s goal is to collect 500 dresses, preferably used, to be handed out to those who need them most. “I’ve researched a lot of projects similar to the one I’m doing, and I found that other people want to make a difference, too,” said Wright. Wright’s project allows other people to make a difference in their community as they donate their used dresses to others. She said that local companies also wanted to be of service in donating items. The project follows along the lines of Wright’s interests as she plans to study fashion merchandising. She said her marketing teacher has been an inspiration and help to her through this and other projects.

North Salt Lake Beat: The people behind the scenes t’s a nearly universal rule that, if something looks effortless, there are any number of people working feverishly behind the scenes to make it appear that way. In your average city government, those people are the hardworking, intelligent, generally publicity-shy city staff. They make sure that buildings get built according to code, that garbage collection runs smoothly, that official documents get triple checked, and all those other tasks that people (including myself) only ever really seem to notice when they go wrong. When you’re a reporter, however, these people are your best friends. The mayor and council

members are great, but during the work day they’re all worried about their day jobs that probably have nothing at all to do with the city. The city staff, however, not only know each and every one of the little nitty-gritty details of running a city, but as a bonus they can be a lot of fun to talk to. In North Salt Lake, I must admit to a secret suspicion that city manager Collin Wood and city recorder Larae Dillingham are both at least mildly all-knowing. Over the last few years there have been very few questions that Collin hasn’t been able to answer (and when he hasn’t he always knows exactly who can), and is understanding enough to

not torment me for accidentally telling him I loved him (long story). Larae always seems to be able to get a hold of just about anyone (including Collin). She also happens to be one of the sweetest women in the world (trust me – I’ve done research on this), which comes as a huge bonus when you need to ask her a question. When it comes to specifics, I am particularly in awe of financial directors, those masters of numbers who can miraculously explain the bond process so that it makes sense to math incompetents such as myself. In North Salt Lake that master is Brian

Passey, a kind, forgiving man always willing to give me whispered explanations in the middle of council meetings when I ask for them. Paul Ottoson (city engineer), Blaine Gehring (community development director) and Rod Wood (public works director) are all also geniuses in their areas of expertise. City attorneys are generally some of the quieter members of a city staff, contributing chunks of useful legalese when called upon by the city council. In North Salt Lake, however, Mike Nielsen is a cheerful, funny, smart-alec equally fluent in both legalese and plain English. If I ever got into trouble, I’d want

County performance pay OK’d BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper News Editor FARMINGTON — County employees will now have the chance to earn a “performance pay” bonus of up to 3.5 percent” above their regular salary. The Davis County Commission approved the policy, Tuesday, emphasizing it’s hardly automatic for any employee to receive it. “It’s not automatic, but it’s a great tool,” said County Commissioner Louenda Downs. As explained by County Personnel Director Mel Miles, “there is money in the budget to increase the performance pay.” It had been set at 2.25 percent for the past few years. “It’s linked to individual job responsibilities, is a program based on job performance,” not seniority, he said. About 750 of the county’s 1,000 full-time employees are eligible, with a zero to five point system applied by

department managers. “I found those scores tend to be inflated,” the personnel director said, referring to what he has seen at some other government entities. “This organization is conservative. I don’t see any evidence of inflation. “It’s intended to increase the potential for truly stellar performance,” Miles said. “It’s only for our top employees’ performance, not for average performance.” The change will place the county’s performance award above many government entities, but well below others. County Clerk/Auditor Steve Rawlings said the policy had been revised because “times were tough. But we agreed to look at it again,” when possible, he said. “We had gotten below market” rate on a number of positions, he said. “We had a good budget year, significant savings in our (health) insurance,” Miles said. “This will still only bring

us to about average with the entities we compete with” for hires. Speaking of savings, Miles told the commissioners that the Workers Compensation Fund payment will be $363,803 – a significant savings over 2007, when it was $441,558.That’s the latest year for which figures are available. “Trends have continued to improve, with fewer claims, and for a lesser amount,” he said. “A lot has been done,” said Commissioner Downs. “The employees have been stellar with our wellness program.” The employee safety committee, meanwhile, has been able to find safer ways to perform certain jobs, which has also helped with the bottom line, Miles said. In other action, the commission approved an agreement with the Utah State Geological Survey. It is for a debris flow hazards evaluation of Centerville Canyon. The survey will start next

month and should be completed by July, said Kirk Schmalz, county Public Works director. The $20,000 bill from the state will be split, he said. The state will pay $10,000, and the county and City of Centerville will split the other $10,000 portion. “They (Geological Survey) are interested in this because they believe the canyon has as great or greater a potential for debris flow,” Schmalz said. Depending on study findings, new facilities could eventually be built with the intention of containing or minimizing debris flow events. Assistant Events Center director Curtis Koch noted the Jordan World Circus will perform shows Feb. 6 and Feb. 7. This marks an expansion from the previous one-show only, with the group using the Legacy Center for the past eight years.

LAYTON — Within the next year – and sooner on a trial basis for others – it could be possible to get rid of your green waste via curbside recycling. At least that’s what Wasatch Integrated Waste Systems is looking at. “A lot of entities are asking about curbside recycling collection,” said Nathan Rich, CEO. “One of the big problems is verifying that it has been recycled.” On top of that, in the current down economy, the market for recyclables isn’t good, he said. “We are recommending cities take a little bit of time to look at that,” Rich urged. He said two or three cities in the county could serve as test markets, perhaps for the next green waste recycling season, which would likely

his or her second garbage can, it must cost less for an incentive,” Rich emphasized. West Jordan and several cities in Utah County currently provide green waste pickup and recycling. “We already have the (green waste) facility,” he said, of an operation in place as part of the landfill operation in Layton, near Hill Air Force Base. “We made a capital investment, developed a market for materials, all of it happens locally. There’s no question where it’s getting shipped to,” Rich said of any green waste. Economically, it makes sense to recycle green waste, he explained. Unlike an aluminum can, which has to be down-cycled to a less valuable asset, grass and clippings are up-sized to a product of more value. That can be in the form of mulch or compost, for example.

LAYTON — The public is invited to the Davis County Democrats’ monthly meting tonight, Thursday, Jan. 8. It will be held at party headquarters, 50 W. Gentile in Layton.

After brief relief, gas on the rise again BY SHAIN GILLET Clipper Staff Writer The price of gas is starting to go up again. Only this time, it is going up much faster than expected. Experts believe the sudden spike is due to a combination of factors, including worries over Israel’s attacks on Gaza, OPEC’s recent efforts to cut back production, the halting of Russian natural gas shipments to Europe and problems at a San Diego area refinery. Last week, aaa.com, which constantly updates the price of gas for the state of Utah and elsewhere, reported that the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline

in Utah was at $1.36. The average price for Davis County was roughly $1.26. That number has gone up 10 cents or more in some fill-up stations in less than a week. “It’s frustrating,” said Gary East, who was filling up his vehicle at the Costco in West Bountiful. “But it’s a lot better than what I was paying last July.” July reported the highest average gas price in the history of Utah, posting as high as $4.22 in some Davis County stations. They were considerably higher in other parts of the state. “There could be a number of reasons for such an increase in price in just under a week,”

said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokesperson. “The price of crude oil has gone up, the price of compressed natural gas is starting to rise, and the demand for oil is going up as well.” As of Tuesday, the price for light, sweet crude oil closed at $48.87 a barrel. That number is almost $20 more than it was just a month ago when the price for crude was hovering just below the $30 mark. “I think some people didn’t expect the price of gas to come up so quickly,” said Hillary Farnesworth as she filled her tank at the local Sinclair station. “As long as it doesn’t climb to that $4 range it was in July I’m fine with paying a little more for gas.

“Just don’t overdo the rising price in gas; otherwise, people are going to be unsettled about the prices again.” Compared to other states; however, the price of gas on average isn’t that bad. According to fuelgaugereport.com,Utah’s average price for gas is $1.50 per gallon. Only Montana ($1.47) and Wyoming ($1.42) are lower. The highest price for a gallon of gas is in Alaska, posting at $2.53 as of Wednesday. Hawaii is the only other state above the $2 mark. “This is an ongoing pattern,” said Fairclough. “As soon as the weather gets better, which should be soon, the price of gas goes up.” sgillet@davisclipper.com

In addition, the party’s monthly breakfast will be held Saturday, Jan. 10, at Granny Annie’s Restaurant, 286 N. 400 W., Kaysville at 8:30 a.m. The public is invited.

About 30 percent of the waste stream comes from green waste. That compares to most traditional curbside recycling programs, where no more than 15 percent of household garbage is typically recycled. “There is potentially a large fraction of waste that could be recycled through green waste, potentially as much or more than through a typical recycling program,” Rich said. In the case of Woods Cross, which started curbside recycling last spring, the recycling rate is about 9 percent of total garbage. Probably fewer people will participate than with regular curbside recycling, Rich said. But any additional cost for the landfill to handle a green waste program would probably be negligible, he added.

run spring, summer and fall. Because no firm details have been worked out, he declined to name which cities might be involved. Bountiful is the only city in the council that does not belong to the waste district. It should be fairly easy for the district to start accepting green waste under such a program, where cities would most likely contract with their waste hauling providers. Rich said he doesn’t envision such a program being mandatory for any residents. But to be economically viable while also affordable, he estimated monthly cost between $6 and $8 for a second green waste can. “It comes down to the cost of picking up the can and delivering the waste, the same issue as curbside recycling,” he said. “If we can offer a green waste can for less than a resident is currently paying for

him for my lawyer. So, next time you get a chance, come to a city council meeting and take a peak behind the scenes. They’ve got some good people back here.

Recycle, don’t throw out old TVs County in process BY MELINDA WILLIAMS Clipper Staff Writer DAVIS COUNTY — With the change to Digital Television just a little more than a month away, garbage haulers are finding people are throwing away their old televisions rather than recycling them, and that is bad for the environment. Waste Management, in cooperation with Sony Electronics Inc., and LG, has established three drop-off locations for old electronic waste. None are in Davis County, but residents are encouraged to take their old televisions. computer monitors, computer systems, VCRs, DVDs, phones, stereos, cables, computer mice, laptops, printers, scanners, fax machines, keyboards, UPS, batteries, routers, hubs, switches, and cell phones into Waste Management’s stations, or other businesses which may be taking the used

equipment. “A lot of businesses are taking used electronic equipment,” said Susan Hayward, spokesperson for Waste Management of Utah. A call to a local electronics store may result in a closer dropoff site for recycling. Another option may be to donate electronic equipment to good will organizations which may be able to repair such items as computers. Or, Hayward suggested schools and not-for-profit agencies may be able to use old electronics.. She also suggested that communities set up an erecycling day, in which residents could drop off their used electronics at the city. “We’d (Waste Management) be happy to help communities with something like that.” Items that cannot be accepted include humidifiers, thermometers and large kitchen appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators,

smoke/fire alarms/detectors, wood consoles or cabinets. The total weight of any item must be less than 50 pounds to be accepted. “It is crucial that electronic waste, such as televisions, be processed and recycled appropriately,” said Hayward. “At issue are the environmental risks associated with the toxins found in electronic waste that can pollute soil and ground water if improperly disposed of in landfills.” She said, “We want to promote recycling and reuse of that equipment. Don’t throw it out. Take it somewhere it can be taken apart appropriately. Don’t send it to a landfill.” According to the Environmental Protection Agency, electronic waste makes up approximately 1 percent of municipal solid waste. More than 3.2 million tons of electronic waste is discarded in landfill in the United States each year. Most of that mate-

rial could be salvaged and reused. “Waste Management shreds and processes e-waste into commodities such as metal, plastic and glass that can be used to manufacture new consumer goods,” said Hayward. “On average 95 percent of recycled electronic material can be reused.” The Waste Management sites designated to drop off used electronic equipment are: • West Haven, Weber County, 2433 S. 2050 West. Hours of operation: M - F - 9 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Phone: 801731-5542 • Orem, Utah County, 1177 S. 1580 West.

Behunin: ‘We won’t allow fuel plant here’ Continued from p. A1 use to an “industrial” one, something Behunin said the city would most likely deny because of its proximity to homes in the surrounding area. “We simply will not permit the construction of a facility that would threaten the health of our citizens,” said Behunin. “We have done so much to clean the air in Davis County, we don’t want to go backwards on it by allowing them to build that plant here.” Residents of Woods Cross have also filed letters complaining of the proposed plant. Gary Uresk, the city’s

administrator, has stated that he is being urged to write a letter to the state saying that the city is not in favor of the plant as well. Behunin also stated that even though the city is against the building, no formal request was submitted to them for a building permit, meaning they cannot take any formal action to approve or deny the proposed project. He did; however, reaffirm his position during Tuesday night’s city council meeting, stating that the refinery goes against its promise of working with the city to improve the air quality in the area should the plant somehow be

allowed to be built. The plant itself is a 109megawatt power plant that relies on waste oil from the Holly Refinery for fuel. The refinery, though some believe is in Woods Cross, is actually located in West Bountiful. “We have a ‘buffer’ zone between the residents and the city that was agreed upon by the refinery and us,” said Behunin. “They have been working on making it at least look better by planting trees and berms to the area. “The truth is, when they initially presented us with plans about a year ago, we told them they had to build it within a very small amount of

space. They couldn’t do that, and the area where they want to put it now is no longer a viable location.” A community meeting is set for today at the Woods Cross city building, located at 1555 South 800 West, at 6:30 p.m. A public hearing from DEQ has been set for Tuesday, Jan. 13 at the DEQ room 101. Their address is 168 North 1950 West, Salt Lake City. Clipper staff writer Melinda Williams contributed to this report. sgillet@davisclipper.com

Petroff feels ready to get to work Try the ‘new’ Continued from p. A1 road, in the past few years. “I understand why the Governor has put things on hold,” he said of Gov. Huntsman’s halting advancement on millions of dollars in road projects, including some in Davis County. “I think the Legislature will look at another way to do it (finance projects),” Petroff said, referring to bonding as one possibility. That would also free up other funds in these tight economic times. Looking at possibilities for the county in the still-evolving Obama stimulus plan, he said several road projects would qualify. Those include not only 2000 West, but also the extension of State Road 193 which hugs the south border of Hill Air Force Base, the South Layton freeway interchange, and possibly the South Davis Transit project.

A study is continuing on that transit project, which could include trolley or commuter rail components. It would probably serve residents from Farmington south. “If I have one goal in terms of philosophy, it would be that there is no north or south Davis. We are one county, so as much as we can we need to not delineate any difference,” he said. “One of the things I appreciate about Mayor (Ralph) Becker of Salt Lake City,” is how he is trying to bridge the gap with Davis County, work together, where possible, Petroff said. “They (Salt Lake) are not our enemy. We know that.” Petroff has worked a variety of jobs over the years, from laying pipe to “a lot of building.” That includes knowing how to operate a backhoe, saying he is “famil-

iar with what they do, I think I understand it enough, think I can contribute,” speaking of the county’s public works department, which is in his portfolio of responsibility. For the past 28 years, he has owned what is now JP’s American Car Care Center in Clearfield. It includes a fullservice automotive repair center and convenience store. “I have leased the gas station and convenience store to another company,” he said. “I am still the owner of JP’s, but a manager runs it. I meet with him in person or by phone maybe once a week. “My full-time job is at the county. I intend to give it my full attention,” Petroff emphasized.

of ‘streamlining’ Continued from p. A1 has a trickle down effect. “It’s pretty apparent we are facing a little rockier times than we have had in the past,” Millburn said. “We’re not putting our heads in the sand as far as trying to find solutions to deal with these problems and challenges. “As far as impact on the citizens of Davis County, we’re trying to stay on top of things, will try to minimize the impact,” he said. With those concerns in mind, Clerk/Auditor Steve Rawlings said a meeting was due to be held as the Clipper

went to press to begin discussing possible financial scenarios based on what state officials might do. “We’re monitoring very closely what the impact will be,” Rawlings said. “I’m not sure anybody knows until the Legislature gets through. (But) we need to have a plan of action if there is something that does happen,” Millburn and the other two county commissioners were among about 200 people who attended a “legislative preview” hosted by the United Way of Salt Lake, which serves Davis County, Tuesday morning.

Natural gas vehicles stall Continued from p. A1 tive fuels once gas prices were where they were,” said Bell. “If you look around now, where are those same people who were talking about alternative fuels?” Late last month, the PSC issued an order requiring Questar Gas to sell the natural gas it supplies for vehicle use at a price that covers its cost of providing the fuel and operating its refuelling stations. The ruling has upset Questar Gas, which in turn is seeking to appeal the ruling and will be asking commissioners to rethink the order. By doing so, they hope that owners of CNG vehicles will start to voice their concerns. “We think the timing of the order was really poor,” said Questar spokesman Darren Shepherd. “With gasoline now selling for around $1.45 a gallon there will be little incentive for people to convert their vehicles to natural gas. Shepherd added that the company is particularly upset at PSC because it barred the company from providing vehicle owner with natural gas produced from wells operated by its Wexpro subsidiary, since Questar also

provides homes with heating fuel at the cost of production. “I’m not benefiting from this at all,” said Rick Way, who was filling up his CNG vehicle at the Woods Cross CNG station. “Now I’m paying almost the same price for this gas than I am for regular fuel. “This isn’t saving me anything now.” Other residents around the station agreed, citing another report that stated the price of natural gas per gallon could go as high as $1.43 in some areas. “The PSC’s order doesn’t allow our customers who drive natural gas vehicles to benefit from this,” said Shepherd. “We don’t feel this was a fair decision.” Julie Orchard, PSC spokesperson, said that once Questar files for an appeal, commissioners Ted Boyer, Ric Campbell and Ron Allen have 20 days to make a decision. “Or, because we’ve received so many letters from the public, commissioners may just decide to reopen the case on their own,” she said. “We are encouraging those owners who have sent us comments to contact their legislators to see if they possibly can get the law changed.”

Health Tips DAVIS COUNTY — The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported that thirdhand smoke also has its dangers, especially to children. Thirdhand smoke is stuff you can smell but not see – what lingers in the air after the cigarette is out, like what you get in a smoking hotel room. And like any other smoke, it’s dangerous. Of course, it’s still there in many places. So researcher Jonathan Winickoff of MassGeneral Hospital for Children looked at survey data on what people knew and did.The study, in the journal of Pediatrics, was supported by the National Institutes of Health. Winickoff says that people who knew thirdhand smoke harms children were more likely to, for instance, ban smoking in the home. But he said,“We found only 27 percent of smokers had a strict ban on smoking in their home and car.’’ Winickoff says quitting smoking is the best way to prevent smoke from harming people you love.

n Masks and alcohol can prevent flu

DAVIS COUNTY — The U.S. Department of Health and Human services says there are ways other than flu vaccines to prevent the flu and its symptoms. Oftentimes the best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccination. But there are other things you can do, and they also may work against things that feel like the flu but are from other kinds of infection. Dr. Allison Aiello at the University of Michigan, School of Public Health had some students who live in dorms wear masks and clean their hands with alcoholbased sanitizers. She compared these students to students who didn’t do those things. Aiello said,“The results were really most apparent toward the end of the study, where we observed reductions in influenza-like illness symptoms of up to 50 percent.’’ The study presented at a scientific meeting was supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

n FDA warns against weight drugs

DAVIS COUNTY — On Dec. 22, 2008, the Food and Drug Administration alerted consumers not to buy or use more than 25 different weight-loss pill products because the products may be harmful to their health. The tainted weight-loss products specified in the alert are: Fatloss Slimming, 2 Day Diet, 3x Slimming Power, Japan Lingzhi 24 Hours Diet, 5x Imelda Perfect Slimming, 3 Day Diet, 7 Day Herbal Slim, 8 Factor Diet, 7 Diet Day/Night Formula, 999 Fitness Essence, Extrim Plus, GMP, Imelda Perfect Slim, Lida DaiDaihua, Miaozi Slim Capsules, Perfect Slim, Perfect Slim 5x, Phyto Shape, ProSlim Plus, Royal Slimming Formula, Slim 3 in 1, Slim Express 360, Slimtech, Somotrim, Superslim,TripleSlim, Zhen de Shou,Venom Hyperdrive 3.0 These products contain undeclared, active pharmaceutical ingredients that may put consumers’ health at risk. Some of the amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients far exceed FDA-recommended levels. Some of the products claim to be “natural” or to contain only “herbal” ingredients, but actually contain potentially harmful ingredients not listed on the product labels or in promotional advertisements.These products have not been approved by the FDA, are illegal, and may be potentially harmful to unsuspecting consumers. An FDA analysis found that the undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients in some of these products include sibutramine, a controlled substance that can cause high blood pressure, seizures, abnormally rapid heart rate (tachycardia), palpitations, heart attack or stroke. It can also interact with other medications and increase patients’ risk of unexpected bad side effects (adverse reactions). Sibutramine’s safety has also not been established in pregnant and lactating women, or in children younger than 16. Rimonabant, a drug not approved for marketing in the United States, has been associated with increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts. In Europe, where it is approved, Rimonabant has been linked to five deaths and 720 adverse reactions over the last two years. If you use any of these weight-loss products, stop taking them and consult your health care professional immediately. For more information, visit www.fda.gov.

n Thirdhand smoke is dangerous

SOUTH DAVIS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL has a different patient population from that of other nursing homes, which is a factor even Medicare admits it does not take into consideration in its five-star quality survey.

SDCH calls Medicare ratings flawed BY SHALYN ROBERTS Clipper Staff Writer BOUNTIFUL — South Davis Community Hospital said it is working to bring up its Medicare rating of two stars out of a possible five— but contends the standard of measurement itself is flawed. Medicare releases its “Five Star Quality Rating” for nursing home providers to compare them with each other. The rating comes from three separate sources that include health inspections, staffing and quality measures.The rating is supposed to give people an idea of how good each facility is. “The SDCH campus is home to a variety of adult and pediatric individuals who have complex medical needs,” said SDCH in a written statement. “SDCH appears to be worse than other facilities because the patient population is different than most typical nursing homes.” The hospital said that Medicare’s rating system is flawed because it does not

adjust quality measures for special characteristics a hospital has. SDCH said it received a low rating because the patient population is different from a typical nursing home. According to Medicare’s website, there are limits to the rating system such as program differences in nursing homes, population adjustment and covering only a few aspects of care. “Compared to other skilled facilities, SDCH serves more patients with conditions that require advanced care, such as those who are paralyzed, ventilator-dependent or that require advanced wound care,” SDCH continued in its written response. “SDCH is the largest provider of skilled pediatric services outside of the acute care setting.” Of the four nursing homes Medicare lists in Bountiful City, SDCH is the only notfor-profit one. It also has the highest percentage of highrisk, long-stay patients. SDCH did receive a five on staffing, but a one on quality measures and a two on health inspec-

tions. The health inspection rating covered everything from quality care to resident rights to nutrition and environment. Of nine sub-categories, SDCH received a rating of two on eight of them and a one on the last. The facility received its lowest score on housekeeping and maintenance, which the report says results in the potential for minimal harm to some patients. The average number of health deficiencies for the state of Utah is six. South Davis Community Hospital was reported as having nine, which is the national average. The quality score is measured by looking at long and short-stay patients and if they have pressure sores, if they are restrained, if they have become more dependent on others, if they are depressed and if they have trouble with bowel movement. SDCH’s score was mainly affected by having a higher percentage than the national and state average of patients

with bowel problems (78 percent compared with 50 nationally), residents with bed sores (22 percent compared with 10 nationally) and the percentage of residents who spend most of their time in bed (16 percent compared with 4 nationally). SDCH says that because of its patient population being in a wheel chair or ventilatordependent, patients are more prone to changes in weight and depression for incontinence of the bowel or bladder. SDCH also treats wounds and conditions that are preexisting and has to report on those. South Davis Community Hospital said it is constantly working toward quality improvement and will improve on the areas in which Medicare gave low ratings.

In our view Beattie offers intriguing ideas on immigration “guest worker” program recently proposed by Lane Beattie certainly deserves our attention. The Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce president and West Bountiful resident has rolled out an immigration reform proposal that we believe would provide self-respect for immigrants, who would be required to find work legally. Costs would be shifted from taxpayers and government to the temporary worker and employers for whom workers labor. A surety bond would be required for every temporary worker. It would be paid through funds accessed to cover enforcement if the worker didn’t abide by guest worker program rules. Employers would be required to sponsor employees at the time of application. In addition, documented Utah residents would be required to apply from their country of origin. An undocumented applicant, meanwhile, would need to be sponsored by his prospective employer within three months of registering as a worker. Most immigrants already come to this country with a job, Beattie notes. Mandated health and auto insurance for each guest worker would also at least be partially paid through FICA and Medicare Equivalent Withholding. Beyond that, an additional 10 percent withholding would be taken by the Utah Tax Commission and invested in a trust fund. The funds withheld from individual guest workers would be available to them after their temporary guest worker status is completed. Beattie has spoken to the Department of Workforce Services, which would logically be the agency to administer such a program. They have said it is doable. Other groups told of the program have applauded it as a feasible, positive way to deal with the issue. Whether or not a reader agrees with Beattie’s ideas, it’s evident that many immigrants provide valuable services. They

work in our hotels, restaurants, gardens, construction sites, and many other places – often performing jobs for relatively low wages that “legal nonimmigrants” don’t want or won’t do. And except for the about one million Native Americans, everyone living here is either an immigrant or a descendant of immigrants. This proposal, therefore, sounds like something worth looking into. It can’t be implemented overnight. And maybe not all facets to it are doable. But it looks to provide a strong framework leading to a solution for what has become a major — and divisive — issue in this state and nation. As expected, the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce has endorsed it. But this proposal needs to be shared, far and wide. Perhaps incoming President Obama could take a look at it. After all, he ran on the premise of change. This proposal could become a policy that would change the way illegal immigrants and documented immigrants are treated and integrated into this country. It would give the immigrants some support through the trust fund they could access upon successfully “graduating” from temporary guest worker status. Employers would have to sponsor immigrants, giving them more of an investment. And the rest of us would be protected by immigrants needing to have health and auto insurance. It should lower bills the rest of us have to pay for both, while protecting and benefiting the immigrant. As noted earlier, the program also provides for wise use of FICA funds already being collected by using them to pay for healthcare insurance. A good part of Beattie’s ideas are both refreshing and new. What’s more, they even seem doable and address many of the nagging problems that surround the thorny immigration issue. We think Beattie has come up with some interesting ideas — ideas that merit at least a second look. And even a third.

100 great books — but what about thrillers? The views expressed in this column are the opinion of the writer and not necessarily those of the ownership or management of this newspaper. report claims that during an economic recession Americans tend to read more books; purchases may be off at bookstores, but there’s a volume surge at libraries and through low-price book rental programs like BookSwim. That’s good news. People who read books are more patient, happier beings. It’s nicer having a dinner conversation with someone who has just read the latest P.D. James mystery than someone who wasted two hours watching The Bachelor on Channel 4. Still book reading is not common. Some 15 percent of the adult population reads 80 percent of the books sold in the U.S.The only book the average American has opened in the last 12 months is the Yellow Pages.

own list last month of the 100 books everyone should read. They didn’t ask me. Oh, I can’t quibble with many of their recommendations. My favorite novel (“All the King’s Men”) is not on their list, but my runner-up (“The Great Gatsby”) is. The list also includes my favorite female author (Anne Tyler), my favorite “New West” author (Kent Haruf), the two best books written by women authors (The Poisonwood Bible and To Kill a Mockingbird), and the single best “coming of age” novel (“The Catcher in the Rye”). But the list totally ignores the red-meat of male readers: thrillers and mysteries. “Hey, there’s not a single throat-slasher on the list,” I

told my wife. “While you were reading ‘The Secret Life of Bees,’ I was skipping through Chelsea Cain’s ‘Heartsick,’ the best thriller of 2008.” “Our list accentuates literature, not dime-store murderers,” my wife replied. “Great books don’t have to entail strangulation or the surgical removal of body parts.” “All I can say is where’s Agatha Christie on the list? Where’s the locked-room mysteries of John Dickson Carr or Ellery Queen? Figuring out the murderer in A ‘ nd Then There Were None’ is far more intellectually satisfying than negotiating the sentence structure of ‘The Brothers Karamozov.’” “See, that’s your problem.

ulate matters, sulfur dioxides and volatile organic compounds. Citizen involvement is critical at this time. The public must voice its concerns about this proposal to put hazardous pollutants into the public’s already polluted airshed. It is obvious that air pollution already hangs over the Wasatch Front, and the rate of asthma among children in South Davis is significantly higher than elsewhere in the state. Davis and Salt Lake Counties do not need another air pollution source further degrading the air quality and increasing the health concerns of its citizens. It is the public’s airshed, and the public needs to decide what gets put into it. Please attend the community education session tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Woods Cross City Building. Information will also be provided for the Jan. 13 public hearing on the air quality permit before the Department of Air Quality.

Reject guest worker program

You haven’t given proper attention to some of the great books that are the building blocks of our civilization. You’ve never read ‘The Divine Comedy’ by Dante.” “Huh? I thought’ The Divine Comedy’ was Walter Mattheau in ‘The Odd Couple.’ Maybe it’s a gender thing, but reading your Jane Eyre is as thrilling to me as watching gravy boil.” “So what do you suggest?” she asked. “Keep your ‘Snow Falling on Cedars’ and ‘My Antonia,’ but leave room on the list for a good Jeffrey Deaver, John Standford, or Jonathan and Faye Kellerman. And give proper space for my favorite mystery/thriller novelist John Katzenbach.” She’s not convinced. Their list stands. One hundred great books – and not one crazed serial killer or pistolwhipping in sight.

■ Lifetime acquires Jumping Jack

CLEARFIELD — Lifetime Products, a Clearfieldbased manufacturing company, has bolstered its manufacturing by purchasing Jumping Jack Trailers in Salt Lake City. Lifetime, a manufacturer of folding chairs, tables, storage sheds and basketball equipment among others, purchased Jumping Jacks from their previous owner last week. Jumping Jack’s main products include trailer/tent combinations that can be used to transport items such as ATV’s and motorcycles. “It is always fun to have something new around for everyone to work on and get excited about,” said Richard Hendrickson, president of Lifetime Products. “This really extends our brand into a whole different distribution channel.” All of Jumping Jack’s manufacturing equipment and inventory will be moved to Lifetime’s 2.6 million square-foot plant in the Freeport Center in Clearfield. “They are a small company with a great product,” said Hendrickson. “But being small they lacked a lot of resources they could have used to fully tap the products’ potential.” The move came as a non-surprise, according to Utah Manufacturers Association President Tom Bingham. He stated that some of the manufacturing companies were starting to struggle; however, others are starting to hold their own. Hendrickson and Lifetime began seeing demand weaken on its products starting last October. However, they say they are fortunate to be in such good shape coming into the new year. “We’re in good shape financially,” said Hendrickson. “And this trailer/tent combination is a product we believe has a lot of unrealized potential that can help us grow.” Lifetime Products employs roughly 1,200 people.

Flying J buying oil ‘day-to-day’ BY SHAIN GILLET Clipper Staff Writer NORTH SALT LAKE — The Flying J Refinery here will now be purchasing its oil on a day-to-day basis, thanks in large part to Flying J’s bankruptcy filing last week. “We are still working things out to continue to receive our crude supply, said Joel Elstein, manager of the refinery. “It’s been kind of a day-to-day thing in the last week or so.” The refinery is still operating normally, and typically purchased their crude oil on a monthly basis. However, since the company is now under bankruptcy protection, Big West has been looking for other ways to purchase their crude oil in order to maintain their daily operations. Their main reason for the filing, according to a statement made on their website,

On the Move

THE FLYING J refinery in North Salt Lake is still operating normally, although their oil will now be purchased daily. was a “cash crisis brought on by the decline in gas prices.” “We seem to be buying crude at a similar price as before,” said Elstein. “”We didn’t anticipate operation being curtailed by our financial situation. “I really didn’t expect any

of this to happen.” Big West LLC is a California-based company that purchased the refinery in order to have an additional source to ship oil to. They also purchase and ship crude to other parts of the Western U.S., including

Wyoming and Colorado. The refinery still has all of its roughly 130 employees, as they announced at the time of their filing that they will not seek any layoff of employees. Flying J is one of the 20 largest private companies in America, with 2007 sales reaching $1.6 billion. Transportation Alliance Bank, which works directly with the company, is said to not be affected by the bankruptcy filing as well; and that they are operating “business as usual” for now. The company’s press release also stated that their employee’s benefits, including medical, dental life insurance, disability and other benefits will also continue without disruption. Flying J operates three locations in Davis County, including two in North Salt Lake and another in Layton. sgillet@davisclipper.com

Business index down for December BY SHAIN GILLET Clipper Staff Writer DAVIS COUNTY — The monthly gauge of business in Utah is on the decline, again. According to the Utah Business Conditions index, which measures business activities ranging from growth to sales numbers, Utah’s index from the month of December fell to 38.4. That number is much lower than it was in November, when it was reported at 44.4. “Manufacturers in the state, both durable and nondurable, reported pullbacks in business activity for the month,” said Ernie Goss, director for the institute, in a press release. “Over the past six months, the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has jumped by almost 0.5 percent. “I expect Utah’s jobless rate will climb another half a percent before the end of the first quarter this year.” The same can be said for Davis County, as reports from the Department of Workforce Services show a continued decline in the number of jobs available in the manufacturing, construction, and mining industries. “Jobs that were on the decline during the final months of 2008 are still on the decline in 2009,” said Jim Robison of the Department of Workforce Services. “Practically all of the construction industry is on the decline, and companies are starting to see a downturn in the number of buildings being planned.” And Utah isn’t the only state on the decline. Colorado’s index reported at 41.5 for December, down significantly from its 47.4 in November and 51.1 in October. “For the second straight month, the index dipped below growth-neutral,” said Goss. “These readings are consistent with a significant economic downturn. This is stacking up to be the worst economic recession since the 1980s, when the national unemployment rate was above 10 percent. “While I expect the downturn for the mountain states to be a bit less steep than for the U.S., it will nonetheless be deeper than that for 2001.” However, some remain optimistic. Robison stated that with the new year comes new optimism, and residents in Davis County and elsewhere should be upbeat. “We were told that the state was in a recession since December 2007,” he said. “So the state should be in recovery mode relatively soon.” sgillet@davisclipper.com

Woods Cross grapples over Highland Quad BY SCOTT SCHULTE Clipper Sports Editor SALT LAKE CITY — The Woods Cross High wrestling team is flexing some muscle this year and if things continue, the Wildcats could be one of the feel good stories of the 4A state tournament this February. The Wildcats went into Highland High Tuesday night and came away undefeated with three wins and a tie. “I’m very happy with the direction of the team right now,” said Woods Cross wrestling coach Mark Tate. “The guys are wrestling well and we’re finally getting our

full team back.” The ’Cats toppled host Highland, 36-32, Copper Hills, 42-30, while earning a hard fought tie with Skyline, 36-36. “We did a good job today,” Tate said. “We had to be a little careful because we have a Region 5 match this week and we didn’t want anyone getting injured. The Region matches are more important than anything else right now.” The Wildcats were led by 112 pound senior Casey Carolan and 145 pounder Brent Nelson. Carolan finished the day undefeated with two tech falls (winning by 15 points or more) and a forfeit. Nelson ground out three consecutive wins.

“Casey is 13 and 4 and has only lost to guys who have placed at state last year,” Tate said. “He has not ever been out of a match. He can compete with anyone in the state.” Nelson, whose record stands at 9-3, is called “a great technician” by his coach. “Brent wrestles a very smart way,” Tate said. “He knows his moves and how to compete. He is looking real good.” Tate is pleased with the early season and is looking forward to the final four matches of the Region 5 schedule that include this week’s Roy match, Sky View, Bonneville and arch-rival Bountiful. “We need to peak at the right time,”

Tate said. “The guys need to get in the room every day and work hard. We need to focus on wrestling smart and knowing when to be aggressive and when to pull back a little bit.” The next four matches will have a major impact on the seeding of the very important Region 5 tournament, especially with the likes of state-ranked Mountain Crest and Box Elder always looming big on the horizon. “I expect us to go to the Region 5 tournament and do a good job,” Tate said. “I think we’ll surprise a lot of people.” sschulte@davisclipper.com

Worked well for me. Pizza, shrimp cocktail, salad and lots of dressing, chips and my favorite…endless CocaCola. The game was close and eventually pulled out by the men. This led to some high fives and jabbing at the ladies, who, of course took it with sportsmanship. Standing in the middle of all of this was Viewmont hockey assistant coach Brian Acord.

SAM SAPPENFIELD fires off a shot for Viewmont.

KAYSVILLE — Meetings between Viewmont and Northridge in any sport are always competitive and hardfought. To add to the rivalry this year was the fact that both girls basketball teams were looking to get their seasons going, Knights as both teams 40 had stumbled Vikings out of the 28 gate. Northridge came out the victor in this one, 40-28. The Knights came out on fire and took control early. Six seconds into the game, Knight center Amanda Gardner sprinted down the court, established position in the post, got the ball, and banked in a layup. Before a full minute had ticked off the clock, Knight forward Katie Manningley twice stripped the Vikings ball handler and raced down court for layups, the second of which she was fouled and converted a three point play the old-fashioned way. From there, the Viking defense settled in and only allowed the Knights to score

six more points the rest of the quarter. The strategy of jamming the middle and denying entry passes to the post were successful. The tactic also worked in forcing six Knight turnovers. Unfortunately for the Vikings, the Northridge defense was just as formidable. The Knights used a fierce 2-3 pressure zone to attack the Viking ball-handlers before they could establish any offensive rhythm. The Knights forced eight turnovers to keep the Vikings at bay. The only points the Vikings were able to put on the board in the first quarter were on a pair of freethrows by reserve center Tyler McFarland. “We started off slow.” said Viking Coach Melissa Fox, “That was a big key in this game.” The game was hard fought the rest of the way, but the Vikings could never quite chip the lead all the way down. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Viking center Amy Black converted two free throws and dropped in a bucket to cut the lead to 2819 . “After the slow start,” said Fox, “I thought we really played well, a few things we could have done better, but

The Viking bench was alive and looking to make a final push. The Knights called a timeout to regroup and it worked. Right out of the timeout, Knight forward Candice Clifford scored and was fouled and the Knights went on to the victory. Manningley led the Knights with 11 points. Viewmont Guard Leah Ellertson had 11 for the

Vikes. The win improves the Knights to 2-7 overall and, more importantly, 1-1 in what is shaping up to be a tough Region 1. The Vikings drop to 0-7 overall and 0-2 in region play. A chance to bounce back for the Vikings will be tomorrow night as they head up north to take on the Falcons of Clearfield. Meanwhile, the Knights will head up to Plain City to take on the Fremont Silverwolves. news@davisclipper.com

No. 1 Sky View shoots down WX Vikings take down BY SCOTT SCHULTE Clipper Sports Editor SMITHFIELD — The Woods Cross girls basketball team traveled to Smithfield Tuesday night and took on the No. 1 team in the state in Sky View High. When the smoke Bobcats cleared the 70 Bobcats sent the Wildcats Wildcats packing with a 50 70-50 defeat. “They are definitely the number one team in the state,” said Woods Cross coach Craig Geis. “They are very talented and showed it.” “This was a great environment for a basketball game. It was loud, intense with a good crowd and I thought even though we lost that we did a lot of good things.”

Jami Mokofisi drew the most difficult challenge of the night in trying to hold in check Amy Andrus, on the state’s top players. Mokofisi did a stellar job holding the star Bobcat to just 12 points while she chipped in 14 of her own. “I thought Jami did a great job on Andrus,” Geis said. “She is one of the best players out there and Jami played her tough and still did a good job on the offensive side of the court.” Sky View jumped out on the Wildcats 18-9 in the first quarter. By halftime, Woods Cross had settled in and trailed 33-25. “Coming out after halftime I felt good about where we were and how we were playing,” Geis said. “We were only down by eight and playing pretty well.” The third quarter Sky View blew the doors off the gym outscoring Woods Cross

26-10 and never looked back. “We just let it get away from us in the third quarter,” Geis said. “That was the turning point of the game. Instead of getting back into the game, we allowed them to get completely out of reach.” In spite of the loss, Geis saw several things he felt good about. “I think we came out a little nervous because the girls had heard about how good Sky View was, but once the game got going they really settled in and played well,” Geis said. Xojan Harry picked up 12 points while Aarika Andersen had 9. “All of the girls did their jobs and I’m pleased with the way our group is playing as a team,” Geis said. Geis noted having Nikki Fernades coming off the bench as the sixth player as a key to the future success of

the team. “It works out real nicely for us to have Nikki coming off the bench to give us a spark,” he said. “Aarika does a great job and then we can bring in Nikki and it gives us an added dimension. “I think when we play Sky View at our place we’ll be ready for them.” sschulte@davisclipper.com

Lady Darts edge out Warriors BY BEN WHITE Clipper Sports OGDEN — The Davis Lady Darts fought the elements to get to Weber High Tuesday afternoon and then battled the Lady Warriors. Davis won on both fronts as the Darts team came away with a 63 gritty 63-60 Warriors win. 60 With both teams utilizing an up-temp style, the first quarter saw a tight battle with Weber finishing the quarter with an early lead at 13-11.

The second half Weber came out and found success and easy buckets breaking the Darts press or getting second attempts from post Shay Sorensen who finished with 20 points. The Darts, however, had more scoring weapons as they got contributions from 10 different players. Leading the way was junior Betsy McCausland 16, senior Mckenzie Garrett 15, and senior Alli Blake 12 points. The undersized Darts were led inside by Taylor Ryan and Aly Gates who did a tremendous job down the stretch by limiting the looks for the Weber post players.

“I was very happy with the intensity that we played with,” said Davis coach Amy Wright. “We had a great first half and although we didn't match their adjustments point for point in the second half, we did a good job of taking care of the ball when we had to and getting those critical free throws to go our way when the game was on the line.” Wright also noted the full team contributions. “I was happy with the play of the bench kids, especially their defensive efforts and drive to the basket,” she said. “Baylee Day, Annie Peterson and Christine Taylor may have only had a handful of points individually, but their gritty defense led the way for several easy buckets.”

Keeping that 2009 resolution BY JENNIFFER WARDELL Clipper Staff Writer DAVIS COUNTY — It’s easy to make New Year’s resolutions to get or stay in shape, but how do you make them last longer than the leftover Christmas candy? Though there’s no easy answer to that question, keeping your fitness resolution doesn’t have to be impossible. From having realistic expectations to setting aside a specific time, there are several tips that can help make sticking with your 2009 goal easier and more likely to happen. First, it’s important to have a resolution that it’s actually possible to achieve. According to Rachel Bettridge, the head personal trainer at the South Davis Recreation Center, many people who quit early get frustrated because the realities of an exercise program doesn’t match the fantasies they had in their heads. “A lot of people have a goal of losing 10 pounds a week or more, but ‘Biggest Loser’-style weight loss really isn’t realistic,” said Bettridge.“If you’re losing one to two pounds a week, that’s really good weight loss.” People looking to build muscle for the new year often face the same problem. “People think they’ll start with a workout program and be big and buff after a week,” she said. For more reasonable numbers for each person’s body type, she suggests either talking to a doctor, personal trainer, or other health professional.“It takes a little while to see the health benefits.” In addition to realism, making sure that your resolution is specific will also help you stick with it. Rather than tell yourself that you resolve to walk more, Bettridge says, change it to “I resolve to walk 30 minutes a day.” Other specific resolutions could include joining a local basketball league and resolving to play every game, or even something as small as taking the stairs to and from your office every single day rather than the elevator. Once you have a specific resolution, it also makes it more obvious when your slacking on the tasks needed to achieve that resolution. “You have to do the homework if you want to see the results,” said Bettridge. Of course, no matter how well you

plan the resolution, it still takes work to stick with it. To help make that work slightly easier Bettridge suggests setting out exercise clothes the night before, which will serve as both a reminder and one less thing you have to do before you get moving. Exercising with a friend who has a similar goal in mind also helps, since you can remind each other to stick with your shared exercise goal and encourage each other during discouraging moments or days when moving at all seems impossible. Timing can also be an important factor. According to Bettridge, people who exercise in the morning are more likely to stick with it than those who attempt to add it to their schedules in the evening or over a lunch break. Writing it into your daily schedule, whether it be on your PDA or a wall calendar, also helps. “Life is just very busy and there are

Guidelines for realistic weight loss goals:

n According to the American Heart Association, the American Dietetic association and other groups, a realistic (final) weight loss goal is anywhere between 5 to 10 percent of your current bodyweight. (A 195 lb. person, for example, could lose about 10 lbs.) n The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend aiming for slow weight loss rather than significant drops in weight.

a lot of things that will eat into your time if you don’t set it aside,” she said. In the end, though, it’s still up to the person making the resolution. “A lot of people have the goal and just don’t do it,” said Bettridge. “But you have to get out there and just do it. Make it a habit.” jwardell@davisclipper.com

Church plans

Alpha class for public BOUNTIFUL — Grace Lutheran Church will again offer the Alpha course beginning Thursday, Jan. 9. The course, a practical introduction to Christianity, will run for 10 weeks, meeting every Thursday evening from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the church office at 835 N. Main. Those interested in participating or who know of someone who is, should contact Pastor John Mayer at the church office, 298-5268.

BOUNTIFUL — The mission of the Ladies of Charity is simple and noble: to respond to the needs of the poor.The Ladies of Charity of Salt Lake City was founded in Utah in 2003, and in the United States 150 years ago. This Christmas season they served 95 families. The Ladies of Charity were only serving 80 families until the economy took a turn for the worse in September, and an atrisk school on the west side of Salt Lake, where they serve 50 families, asked them if they could take on 30 more families. That was not possible, but they have taken on 15 additional families. In addition, they supplement and deliver food to 30 families in their homes throughout Davis and Salt Lake Counties. As a result, St. Olaf School collects food every first Friday of the month and donates it to the Ladies of Charity. St. Olaf Parish also collected food at their annual Stocking Stuffer last month for the Ladies of Charity. The Ladies of Charity, founded by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac in France in 1617, was the result of a family who was sick and in need. St. Vincent was a priest and St. Louise a sister. One Sunday after a service, St. Vincent asked if people could bring food to this family and the response was overwhelming. They formed the Ladies of Charity so there would always be a group to care for the poor. In 1633, they formed the Daughter of Charity, a religious order to guide the Ladies of Charity. “It is the tenacity of the women that keeps our organization going” said Silvia D’Ausilio, president of the St. Olaf Parish Ladies of Charity Chapter. “They help in any way they can.” In the greater Salt Lake area, there are two chapters, the one at St. Olaf Parish, and one in Salt Lake City at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, adjacent to Judge Memorial Catholic High School. Together, the two chapters deliver food to an average of 65 families who are referred by an at-risk school on the west side of Salt

The need is present year-round, but it is more apparent during the Christmas season. D’Ausilio said to prepare, the Ladies of Charity at St. Olaf begin with a barbecue in July to raise funds for Christmas to buy gifts for children. They also have a bake sale at Thanksgiving to raise funds for Christmas. “We have a bake sale and a Christmas boutique sale to raise money and continue the project to help the poor,” said Jackie Harover, president of the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapter. “This year’s Christmas was a big project that ensured approximately 250 children received toys, hats, socks, and gloves. This requires a lot of work, but it is worth it. “It is an opportunity to bring joy to the people who have very little,” said Louise Lochhead, chairwoman of the food delivery committee at St. Olaf. “We go beyond getting food on the table of the families in need by trying to provide them with a traditional and memorable Thanksgiving and Christmas meal. The meals include a large box of supplemental food, a turkey at Thanksgiving, a ham at Christmas, bread, cranberries, vegetables, stuffing, and even a bottle of sparkling cider.

the gifts for the children.” Although feeding the hungry is the main concern for both chapters of the Ladies of Charity, they also take care of other needs. Some members are homebound and pray for the success of the mission of the Ladies of Charity. Other members visit the sick, send cards when people are sick or have an anniversary, or make phone calls to remind the members of upcoming events. The Ladies of Charity also distribute gently used clothing, furniture, and household items. The Ladies of Charity also have the support of men – husbands, brothers, sons, and friends – who devote their time to the organization by lifting heavy items like couches, mattresses, and heavy boxes. Horton said she has not met a member who volunteers her time who does not have the support of her family. The Ladies of Charity have their main source of motivation in their perspective of the world. “We see Christ in the poor,” said Sr. Germaine. “When we serve the poor, we serve Christ. And this is not just during Christmas, but all year long.” Priscilla Cabral contributed to the story.

Attending worship may prolong life BY MELINDA WILLIAMS

Clipper Staff Writer BOUNTIFUL — A study conducted by a professor of psychology at a Jewish university found that women who attend weekly religious service, regardless of their faith, lowered their risk of death by 20 percent compared to women who don’t attend services. That doesn’t surprise the Rev. Donald Proctor, senior pastor of Bountiful First Baptist Church, who has found working with people throughout the years in church settings, those who have what he calls a “ministry” thrive, well beyond the years of those who choose to sit at home. The study was conducted by Eliezar Schnall, a clinical assistant professor of psychology at Yeshiva College at Yeshiva University in New York City, over an eight year period. He studied 95,000 women ages 50-79, from throughout the United States. At the beginning of the study each woman answered

questions regarding health history and behaviors, psychosocial factors, demographics and religion. After adjusting the data to account for physical health, age ethnicity, income, education, social support, life satisfaction and important life events, Schnall found that weekly religious service attendance was responsible for a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death. Attending less than one a week was responsible for a 15 percent drop, according to an article published for Medline Plus. Schnall’s findings held true regardless of their faith. Proctor spoke of friend and Episcopal clergy Dovie Hutchinson, who was ordained in her senior years as a priest associate to serve the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection.“She was able to do significant ministry and took her calling seriously,” Proctor said. “She was in touch with her faith.” He said that fact probably added 10-15 year’s to Hutchinson’s life and ministry. But for Proctor, “ministry” goes far beyond the confines

“If you do what God wants you to do, He will give you what you need to do it,” said Daughter of Charity Sister Germaine Sarrazin, sister moderator of the St. Olaf chapter. “We receive food from the Utah Food Bank on a monthly basis and we were fortunate to receive donations this year,” said D’Ausilio. Harover said the Our Lady of Lourdes Chapter decorated a tree with sponsoring cards that included the childrens’ sex and age. The community sponsored 140 children. One lady knitted 100 hats for these children, and because of some generous donations, each family was given a gift card to a local supermarket. “The Ladies of Charity received help from additional volunteers,” said Loretta Horton, St. Olaf Ladies of Charity secretary. “These volunteers helped wrap the gifts and assure there was a gift for each child. They also helped with the sorting and distribution process. There was an intense feeling of happiness.” “We made the gift wrapping into a party,” said Harover. “We had turkey soup, cookies, coffee, Christmas music, and a fun atmosphere. You couldn’t help getting excited when you saw all

of an ordained clergy. He sees those lay people who faithfully serve a church as ministers, whether it be providing or arranging flowers for the weekly service, or buildings and grounds maintenance. In fact, he believes that anyone who finds their “bliss” in the words of author Joseph Campbell, their “passion” would likely live longer. Proctor sees seniors who are passionate about volunteering, say at a hospital, or a school, or even being active at a senior citizens center or a club, would extend their life over someone who isn’t

involved. “Any activity that gives meaning and order to life, and calls a person out of themselves would likely extend their life.” The study’s researchers wouldn’t rule out the supernatural effects of faith, admitting they don’t fully understand the mechanism by which religion may play a factor, but they say a sense of community or support may factor into the data, something Proctor can identify with. mwilliams@davisclipper.com

Vacancies climb with bad economy Obituary DAVIS COUNTY — Some businesses are shutting their doors. Others are making a decision to stay put until the cash register jingles a bit more. All of this is translating into more “For Rent” or “Vacancy” signs in commercial and industrial buildings across Davis County. That’s according to a report released early this week by Commerce CRG, providing year-end data for Davis County and other big Wasatch Front counties. In office complexes, the vacancy rate has risen from 10.8 percent to 12.36 percent, with the highest impact being felt in “Class B” or second tier projects. That’s because tenants from those type of facilities have moved to “Class A,” or top of the tier projects. The industrial sector has seen only a slight increase in vacancies, up from 9.42 percent to 10.14 percent. And in the retail sector, strip centers without major anchors have seen vacancy rates jump from just under 8 percent to 10.32 percent. Multi-family units, or

COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS are seeing a higher vacancy rate thanks to economic woes. apartments, continue to experience a high rate of occupancy. That’s partially due to a decrease in home loans keeping rents at record high levels. “Although there has been a noticeable down tick in the market, the impact has not been fully realized to this point,” the report continues. Large mixed-use and other construction projects are moving forward, especially in North Davis. Much of that is fueled by Hill Air Force Base, which is seeing new construction in support services categories. In the office sector, “very little new construction activity” is taking place. However,

the report predicts “Utah office market will continue to outperform the nation and remain in a relatively good position.” A driver for that is that Utah’s, and Davis County’s, unemployment rates are half or less those of the nation. “Expect continued interest from national companies for possible expansions in Utah,” the report continues. “Healthy manufacturing and distribution industries are keeping the industrial sector healthy,” it says, with lease rates rising. Sale prices reaching a record $97.17 per square foot. “A surge of new construc-

tion is expected, including several near HAFB,” including the East Gate area of Layton. That area will target manufacturing companies serving the base, while Falcon Hill will feature mixed use office and research, retail and light manufacturing. “A downturn in the retail market allows healthier businesses to upgrade or move to better locations,” the report says. Discount, dollar and consignment shops have proven to be the “best performers” in 2008, while fast food and midprice restaurants are also doing well. Big stores include Lowe’s, Wal-Mart and Kohl’s have helped spur retail activity in the county, as smaller retailers follow big boxes to regional malls and regional centers, lowering vacancies in those types of developments. That has meant an upward movement in most lease rates, spurred by construction costs. Lease rates have fallen only in anchorless strip centers. “Mixed use projects like Falcon Hill and Station Park will keep retail construction moving forward,” the report says. tbusselberg@davisclipper.co

Weber State: ‘A lot of worrying going on’ BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper News Editor LAYTON — The state’s higher education institutions, Weber State University among them, are looking at leaner times, in the near future. The possibility of trimming university budgets by up to 11 percent, next year, has officials scrambling. “I think there is a lot of worrying going on,” said Bruce Davis, director of the Weber State University Davis campus, Wednesday morning. That, of course, is being coupled with strategy sessions, coupled with cost-cutting measures already in place. But final decisions can’t be made until after the Legislature meets, starting later this month. A budget cut of 4 percent was implemented for higher education during the current fiscal year. “We’ve done a few things in my area” to conserve funds

or work with less, Davis said. “We’ve frozen travel, are not replacing positions where at all possible. When people have left, we haven’t replaced them,” with a few exceptions. “We’re just being very, very careful with current expenses,” he said, speaking of the short term. “The long term looks a little bit scarier,” Davis said.“We don’t know how big those cuts will be, haven’t made any decisions. They’re (state officials) talking much larger cuts.

the quality high, but with fewer dollars than we otherwise have,” he said. Budget cuts can pose a particular problem to colleges and universities during an economic downturn. “The institution as a whole has seen some enrollment increase,” Davis said. “WSU Online and high school concurrent enrollment is up.” As far as the Davis campus,“we haven’t seen a significant increase, we’re pretty flat out here,” he said. That could well be due to the facility being virtually maxed out. Spring term numbers aren’t available yet, with school resuming just this past Monday. Officials have hoped the Davis campus could gain approval and funding for its second building. But that could be put on hold, depending on what legislators and other state officials decide. “It’s hard to tell” what stance will be taken, he said. “Sometimes the state likes to

do construction during lean economic times. But then, there’s not much money available, and concern over how to fund that. “I’m not optimistic, but we hope things can improve,” Davis said. As of now, there is no talk of tuition increases to help buoy up budgets, he said.That usually comes after the Legislature meets and the finance picture can be clarified. But before any tuition hike at WSU would be approved, there would be consultations with “a number of people, including students. “We’ve had to make our cuts for this year, are kind’ve watchful, waiting for what will come for the 2009-10 school year,” he said, noting the Dean’s Council was due to meet Wednesday afternoon as the Clipper went to press.

James Clair Jensen 1918-2009 James Clair Jensen, "Ole JJ," as known by family, friends, and colleagues, passed away Monday morning, January 5, 2009, at the age of 90. His companion and wife of 18 years was there with him. They w e r e residing in Bountiful, U t a h . James was born on May 24, 1918, to Guy V. and Eliza M o s s Jensen in G l e n wood, U t a h . W h i l e James went by Jim most of his life, he was honored a n d pleased to be named after his Grandfather James Jensen. As a young boy growing up on the family farm, he learned the value of hard work by getting up early to milk the cows and then milking them again after school. Together, with his father, they plowed the fields and harvested the corn and the grain. He also herded the sheep on the 15 acres of farmland. Jim loved horses and owned a beautiful half-Arabian which he rode on many deer hunts and camping trips in the mountains. Earlier in life, he loved reminiscing about growing up in Richfield and quiet rides in the farmland of Central Utah. He married his first wife, Reta Neilson, on June 13, 1939, in Elsinore, Utah. They raised three children together, F. Clair, James Calvin, and Ricky Sue.During

World War II, he was drafted into the Navy and served his time on a naval ship on the Pacific Ocean. Jim enjoyed his time on the high seas, but was quick to note that he was happier being home. In 1958, he secured a job at the Nevada Test Site. At that time he moved his family to Las Vegas, where he worked in a highly secured area experimenting with atomic energy and explosives. He also worked as an operating engineer where he maneuvered heavy equipment. It was well known that Jim could run any type of machinery at the Test Site. Jim loved working in Nevada and would often mention that a hot day in Utah was no comparison to the Nevada heat. Jim was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and earlier in life spent many summers as a temple worker in the St. George Utah Temple. In 1990, he married Flora Keller in the Jordan River Temple. Flora's family and extended family accepted Grandpa JJ with warmth, affection, and love. As the years went by, Jim and Flora became Grandparents to 33 grandchildren and 38 great grandchildren. Jim is survived by his wife Flora and her family, Lynn and MaryAnn Keller, Myrna and David Phillips, Ranae Powell, Kathryn and Taylor Davis, Scott and Karen Keller, his beloved sister Billie and her husband Evon Payne of Monroe Utah, his daughter Ricky Sue, half sisters Bea, Carolyn, Joni, and a half brother Dallas Jensen. He was preceded in death by his first wife Reta, sons Clair and Calvin, brother Ted, sisters Ruth and Eileen, step sisters Klela and Maxine, step brother Dolph, half sister Patricia, grandson Gregory Lynn Keller and great grandson Joshua Boyd Squires. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, January 9, 2009, at Russon Brothers Bountiful Mortuary, 295 North Main, where a visitation will be held from 9:4510:45 a.m. prior to services.

New restrictions on NSL snow removal NORTH SALT LAKE — Residents are now going to have to be a little more careful where and when they shovel. The North Salt Lake City Council recently approved changes in the city’s snow removal ordinance that specify that snow needs to be cleared within 24 hours after a storm. The ordinance was also altered to make blowing or dumping snow from sidewalks back out onto a plowed street illegal. “After seeing a snow plow on their street, most people expect that street to be cleared only to find several people blowing snow from their driveways back out onto the street,” wrote North Salt Lake Community and Economic Director Blaine Gehring in a summary to the council. Originally, North Salt Lake’s ordinance simply said

that the snow needed to be removed within “a reasonable time,” but there were complaints and questions from residents as to what was used to determine how much time was reasonable after a storm. Gehring then researched the ordinances of surrounding cities to determine the 24 hour window, which was added to the ordinance to make the restriction “seem less arbitrary,” according to Gehring. The part of the ordinance restricting snow from being blown back onto the street also covers the snow moved and discarded by the plows that handle commercial and apartment parking lots. Both the plow and snowblower restrictions were made in order to lessen potential hazards on the roadway. jwardell@davisclipper.com

SNOW ARRIVES ALMOST DAILY in Davis County as these two snowplow trucks clear the snow.

ANOTHER GIANT house-sized snowman on 100 East and 1143 South. The great thing about this giant snowman is he seems to come back year after year.

South Davis Fire Chief Jim Rampton tells Davis County residents that if you have a fire hydrant on your property you need to keep the snow clear so firemen can find it and access it in an emergency, especially those houses up on the bench where the snow is deeper.

BOUNTIFUL CITY POST MASTER Michael Carey asks residents to keep the snow clear from your mailbox. Mail trucks have to chain up during snowstorms. On curbside deliveries, the carrier must be able to drive up to and exit from your mailbox without dismounting, and without backing up. It is your responsibility to keep this path clear. Please follow these regulations to prevent interruption of your mail service.

DARREL BISHOP of the street department uses a "hot wrench" or cutting torch to cut the bolts of a worn out snowplow blade on one of the city trucks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big job to keep these trucks in service.

BOUNTIFUL POLICE CHIEF Tom Ross urges residents to be mindful of Title13 of the Bountiful Traffic code # 13-1-103 under Parking Limitations that it is "unlawful to park a vehicle or trailer on the street between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. during the months of November through March": or "when it is actually snowing or within 12 hours thereafter." This makes it a lot easier for the snow plows to keep streets clear and safe. Violators could receive citations or have their cars towed. 6-2115 states that residents need to (a) "promptly and effectually" remove snow from their sidewalks "within 24 hours of its falling." (b) "It is unlawful to place snow removed from private property in a public street or right of way."

FARMINGTON — Hearing that old Top 40 hit on the radio may do wonders to cheer up a lonely senior citizen. Or seeing photos of the old gang from high school or college, or watching old TV shows from those bygone days. Such experiences can be good therapy, says Dwight Adams, a member of the Davis County Senior Services Advisory Board. He also teaches gerontology and related subjects at the University of Utah, Salt Lake Community College and Weber State University, as well as social research and statistics at Columbia College. Adams has created several websites that urge senior citizens to travel memory lane. “Remember When...III” allows for a look back yearby-year at some of the “great songs and movies of the 20th Century. Do you remember where you were when you first heard the song or saw the movie?” He used the experience of his own mother, who finally agreed to assemble a personal scrapbook. “What’s really helpful for a senior is to pick a song from Billboard’s list of top hits.That really got her going,” Adams

LOOKING AT OLD photos and other memorabilia can help older adults remember their past. said. “She was able to look back into her teenage years, remember the bands that played,” he said. Academy Award winners can also be recalled and tallied, that having started in 1927. “You can see who the best actor, best picture were for each year,” Adams said. “This is designed to help an older person look back and remember. “I find usually older people get all excited remembering.They can go back and see. It was especially important when they were between the ages of 14 and 16. They will

have fun moving all over” in terms of recounting old memories, he said. Adams quotes a University of Colorado professor who teaches that, at age 14,American youth set their own personal “values.” Those are influenced by more than peers, parents, schools, and social groups. They’re also influenced by what was going on in the media and what was the “talk of the town” at the time. Although no reader likely can remember the seven years between 1897 and 1904, Adams gave some examples of what happened at that

time. Some 4,277 businesses were merged into 257 corporate combinations. The USA became the world’s largest producer of goods, at twice the volume of Britain and Germany combined.The typical work week was 10 hours per day, six days a week. Adams has developed websites for older seniors, as well as for baby boomers, starting with about 1952 forward. For example, the 1952 best picture was “On the Waterfront” with Marlon Brando named best actor and Grace Kelly best actress. Top songs in 1952 ranged from “The Glow Worm” by the Mills Brothers to “No Other Love” by Perry Como and “Rags to Riches” by Tony Bennett. “The big thing is for people, no matter what their condition, if they can reminisce, they need to,” Adams emphasized.“The older you get, your brain must put your story together, whether you like it or not. That’s good mental health.” He added that, “I’d like people to start now, and continue. The older we get, the more we need it.” “Someone who is lonely, sick, terminally ill, what they really need to do is talk. Sometimes the best thing (for someone else) is to sit and listen.”

JORDAN WILLIAMS, as Annie, bonds with Zach Fisher as Daddy Warbucks.

BOUNTIFUL — Part of the magic of theater is that it can seem like one big game of dress-up. For the performers in Bountiful High’s current production of “Annie,” running Jan. 8-17 at 7 p.m. (with a 2 p.m. matinee on Jan. 17), their new musical offers up the chance to try on everything from being a kid again to madcap villainy. “It’s fun to be able to be a little kid again,” said Jordan Williams, one of the actresses playing Annie.“I’ve been able to goof around and have fun and still be doing my job.” Figuring out how to be a kid again, however, has taken some study. “I tried to watch my nieces and nephews, elementary school kids, and all the kids in my neighborhood so I could pick up on their mannerisms and put them in the show,” said Williams. One thing she really picked up on confirmed that staying still was not going to be an option while she was onstage. “Kids are never just standing there,” she

said.“They’re always moving around and doing something.” For Zach Williams, the only actor playing Annie’s adoptive father Daddy Warbucks, the challenge has been in making himself grow up instead of grow younger. “Right now I’m just a teenager, but I have to become an experienced billionaire who’s about to become a father,” said Fisher.“I have to get out of myself and into a man who’s pretty much running the country. Along with the mental maturing, Fisher has needed to bring his vocal chords along as well. “The biggest thing is to get your voice right,” he said. For the villains of the play, namely the mean orphanage matron Miss Hadigan,“Annie” offers the chance to be just as nasty as they’ve ever dreamed of being. “I love how evil she is,” said Amy Regis, one of the actresses playing Hadigan.“Out of all the parts in the play, it’s the only one that you can throw over the top and make it your own.” Not that she wasn’t already prepared. “I have lots of little siblings, so I’ve had years of practice at being Miss Hadigan,” said Regis with a laugh.

As for the musical itself, however, Regis hopes that it gets audiences to try on a slightly more hopeful world. “I’m sure that things aren’t as hard as they were in the Great Depression, but the world has the same feeling of everyone being on edge and looking for the silver lining,” she said. “But Annie’s there to say ‘Chin up, there’s always tomorrow.’” For tickets or more information, please call the school at 402-3900.

WEST BOUNTIFUL — Nobody does a finale like Broadway. At the West Bountiful Arts Council’s first free concert of 2009, a collection of Broadway hits, scheduled for Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. at the West Bountiful City Hall, will help serve as the finale for retired West Bountiful City Manager Wendell Wild. Rodgers Memorial Theatre regular David Marsden will be doing the honors, performing classics from “Wicked,” “Les Miserables,” and other shows along with family and friends. Afterward, at 8 p.m., there will be a brief retirement program for Wild, who has worked with the arts council since its creation and has attended all but a few of their meetings. “He asked not to have a huge retirement party, but he’s been such a supporter of all the efforts of the arts council that we wanted to honor him,” said

DAVID Marsden, far left, with his fellow actors from 2008’s “Pirated” at RMT.

Dianne Smith, chair of the arts council. An opportunity to mingle will follow the program.“We wanted to do something that would honor his wishes, but at the same time show him how much he was appreciated.” Before that, however, will be the music. Marsden, who has most recently appeared in Rodgers Memorial Theatre’s (RMT) 2008 production of “Jekyll and Hyde,” will perform well-known songs such as “If I Loved You” (“Carosel”) and “All I Ask of You” (“Phantom of the Opera”) with several other RMT regulars, including his daughter Chelsea. Andy Leger, who has been seen before on West Bountiful’s stage, will also be performing. He will also be performing with his father, Alan Marsden, who has performed West Bountiful’s St. Patrick’s Day concert for the last several years. “He’s really shy. I had to twist his arm,” said David Marsden, who then laughed.“Actually, I’m sure his singing is where my entertainment bug came from.” The love of the stage, however, and the music that came from it, is all Marsden’s own. “Performing is my niche, you could say,” said Marsden.“That’s what I’m supposed to be doing while I’m here.“

Marker may signal approach of Alzheimer's BY JAMES GAFFNEY Special to the Clipper

Researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles, searching for a biomarker that may track the progression of Alzheimer’s disease long before symptoms appear, believe they may have found one. And not a moment too soon. Considering that an estimated 10 million aging American baby boomers will develop the disease, the need to develop preventative strategies long before Alzheimer's destructive symptoms appear is critical, scientists say. During Alzheimer’s earliest stages, levels of specific proteins in the blood and spinal fluid begin to drop as the disease progresses, making them potentially useful as biomarkers to identify and track progression long before symptoms appear, according to neurology associate professor John Ringman, who is assistant director of the Mary S. Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Disease Research at the University of California-Los Angeles.. Identifying patients at the clinically “silent” stage is a prerequisite for advancing strategies to prevent the symptoms from appearing. The hope is that, one day, screening for such biomarkers can take its place beside such routine tests as colonoscopies and mammograms as another common tool of preventive medicine. Ringman studied familiar Alzheimer’s disease (FAD), a form of the disease caused by certain gene mutations that affects less than 2 per-

cent of Alzheimer’s patients. FAD is early-onset, meaning the disease develops before age 65, and it is inherited. All offspring in the same generation have a 50-50 chance of developing FAD if one of their parents had it. The markers the researchers tracked came from people with the FAD mutations. By comparison, sporadic Alzheimer’s is the most common form of the disease and occurs later in life, typically after age 65. The causes of this disease type are not completely understood. “Since we knew that 50 percent of first-degree relatives (with FAD) will inherit the same rare mutations, we were able to study the biochemical changes occurring in the cerebrospinal fluid and blood as long as 30 years before the subjects were likely to develop the disease themselves,” said Ringman. “This allowed us to identify markers that might be used to diagnose the disease prior to the development of overt symptoms, and also tells us a lot about the chain of events that cause the disease. “These results are worth highlighting because of the implications for Alzheimer’sprevention research,” Ringman said. “The presence of cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease prior to any clinical symptoms suggests the pathology of Alzheimer’s precedes the clinical symptoms and further demonstrates that it may be possible to detect those changes prior to the appearance of cognitive dysfunction.”

And then, four hours later, again. And then the next morning when you wake up, again. It’s been that kind of winter for us this year, which is why I started thinking about rainbows. The Bible tells us that the rainbow at the end of a rainstorm (or as it says in the scripture, “my bow in the cloud”) is a symbol of God’s promise that He will never again destroy the world by flood. But He never said anything about snow, which today makes me wonder if we should read something ominous into the fact that there are no rainbows at the end of snowstorms. Assuming, of course, that snowstorms ever actually HAVE an end. And yes, I know that the global warming folks will be quick to point out that this is some sort of meteorological trick brought on because the planet is actually heating up – honest, they wouldn’t kid us about this – so therefore it snows more than any of us around here can remember. Now, I’m not a scientist –

Value Speak By Joseph Walker

just ask Mr. Siddoway, my erstwhile high school science teacher, who made it a habit to put away the Petrie dishes whenever I walked into the lab. I just know that my back is sore from lifting shovels full of globally warmed white stuff. Which feels awfully cold to me. So I’m looking for rainbows in the snow – if not the covenanted kind, at least the kind that make it all seem worthwhile. For example, the easiest rainbow to spot on the snowy horizon can actually be seen coming out of my kitchen faucet. We have water all year round because we have hundreds of inches of snow in our mountains. This is especially meaningful this year because we are coming out of several years of drought (that sound you just heard was a hearty “HA!” from the global warming lobby). Shoveling snow – even two or three times a day – seems like a small price to pay for a year’s worth of green lawns, flushed toilets and long, hot showers. Not to mention the cool water we will drink on those globally warmed days. I see another rainbow on my sore muscles (and no, I didn’t go get tatted up in a sudden outburst of snowinduced madness). They are

sore because I’m actually using them instead of allowing them to atrophy while sitting in front of the television set or the computer. I’m outside, breathing fresh air and exercising muscles that desperately need the exercise. Evidently, that’s not a bad thing. Who knew? There’s another rainbow hovering over my memory of a pleasant conversation I had with my 17-year-old son, Jon, as we worked shoulderto-shoulder clearing away the residue of last night’s storm. And another illuminating the kindness of neighbors who refuse to be bound by property lines as they shovel their way down the sidewalk. And then there are others popping up all over snow country as compassionate “Samaritans” pause to help strangers in icy distress. Turns out there are rainbows all over the place out there. You’ll see them in the harshest winter blizzard, or even in the overwhelming pleasantness of a balmy day at the beach. There are rainbows marking the hidden blessings that life holds for all of us. It’s just that sometimes we have to look pretty hard to find them. And we have to use a snow shovel. Again and again and again.

American Council on Exercise efore you start an exercise program, there are a few questions to ask yourself to determine whether you should see your doctor first.

Question yourself Your first step is to ask yourself how active you want to be. This may sound like a silly question — you’re probably planning on doing whatever you’re capable of, whether that’s a slow walk around the block or a vigorous step class. But if you’re of a certain age or have certain cardiovascular risk factors, you may need to see your physician before beginning a program that involves vigorous (as opposed to moderate) aerobic activity. Here’s how exercise intensities are typically defined: Low-to-Moderate This is an intensity that can be sustained relatively comfortably for a long period of time (about 60 minutes). This type of exercise typically begins slowly, progresses gradually and usually isn’t competitive in nature. Vigorous This is an intensity that is high enough to significantly raise both your heart and breathing rates, and is usually performed for about 20 minutes before fatigue sets in. Are you planning to participate in vigorous activities and are a man over 40 or a woman over 50? You should receive a medical exam first. The same is true for individuals of any age with two or more coronary artery disease risk factors. If you’re unsure if this applies to you, check with your physician. More questions Now that you’ve made it through the first questions, there are a few more to answer. A YES to any ONE of the following questions means you should talk with your doctor, by phone or in person,

BEFORE you start an exercise program. Explain which questions you answered “yes’’ to and the activities you are planning to pursue. 1. Have you been told you have a heart condition and should only participate in physical activity recommended by a doctor? 2. Do you feel pain (or discomfort) in your chest when you do physical activity? When you are not participating in physical activity? While at rest, do you frequently experience fast, irregular heartbeats or very slow beats? 3. Do you ever become dizzy and lose your balance, or lose consciousness? Have you fallen more than twice in the past year (no matter what the reason)? 4. Do you have a bone or joint problem that could worsen as a result of physical activity? Do you have pain in your legs or buttocks when you walk? 5. Do you take blood pressure or heart medications? 6. Do you have any cuts or wounds on your feet that don’t seem to heal? 7. Have you experienced unexplained weight loss in the past six months? 8. Are you aware of any reason why you should not participate in physical activity? If you answered “no” to all of these questions, and you passed the first round of questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can safely take part in at least a moderate physical activity program. But again, if you are a man over 40 or a woman over 50 and want to exercise more vigorously, you should check with your physician before getting started. By taking the time to evaluate if you are ready to start exercising, you’ve planted yourself firmly on the path to better health and fitness.

Stay safe with winter driving tips Utah Safety Council riving in the winter means snow, sleet and ice that can lead to slower traffic, hazardous road conditions, and unforeseen dangers. To help you make it safely through winter, here are some suggestions from the Utah Safety Council to make sure that you and your vehicle are prepared.

How to prepare for winter driving • Avoid unnecessary travel during winter storms. Always call 511 or log on to www.commuterlink.utah.gov to check road conditions before your trip. • Get your vehicle winterized. • Have your antifreeze, battery, brakes, heater, exhaust system and

lights tested. Never travel with less than a half tank of gas. • Equip your vehicle with booster cables, road flares, a shovel, salt, extra warm clothes, sleeping bag or blankets, hat, mittens, boots, windshield scraper and tow rope. • Always carry a winter survival kit. Include flashlights, blankets, hand/foot warmer packets, first aid supplies, high energy candy or snacks, bright fabric to tie on the antenna for help if stranded, candles to melt snow for drinking water, pencil, paper, and cell phone or change for phone calls. • Notify others of travel plans. Tell someone where you are going and the route. Report a safe arrival.

Winter driving tips • Slow down and stay behind the snow plows. Drivers should allow at least five car lengths between their vehicles and snow plows. The road behind the plow will be the safest place to drive. • Be particularly aware of black ice conditions on surfaces such as bridge decks and entrance and exit ramps. • Turn on headlights and turn off cruise control settings. What to do if you are stranded in a winter storm • Stay in your vehicle. Walking away in a storm is very dangerous. You can lose your way, wander out of reach and/or become exhausted. Your vehicle is your best shelter. • Keep fresh air in your vehicle. It’s better to be

chilly and awake than to be comfortably warm and be overcome with carbon monoxide fumes. Keep your exhaust pipe free of snow and run your engine only for short periods of time, leaving a downwind window slightly open. • Keep warm without fuel. Keep your blood circulating freely. Loosen tight clothing and change positions frequently. Move your arms and legs, massage fingers and toes; tuck your hands between your legs or under your armpits. Elevate your feet to improve circulation. • Call 911 if you have a cell phone. Describe your location, the condition of those in the car and what happened. Stay on the line until you know who you have spoken with and what will happen next.

Senior Services programs available Tips for making through Davis Co. Health Department new healthy habits permanent D American Heart Association Go for it: Know exactly what you want — reduce LDL cholesterol, quit smoking, get regular physical activity, etc. Work with your loved ones and doctors to identify these goals. • Make sure they are specific and measurable. Goals should state what needs to happen and by what date. Write them down and review them often. • Set long-term and short-term goals. Reaching certain goals takes a long time. To stay motivated, be sure to set realistic shortterm goals that will lead to your final goal. • Develop a plan for each goal. Brainstorm strategies or steps to move closer to the goal. Reward yourself: When you set goals together, plan a reward for reaching each one. Rewards can be as simple as going to a movie, reading a good book, or playing a round of golf. Select small rewards for reaching short-term goals (for example, completing weekly physical activity targets). For attaining long-term goals plan bigger rewards, such as buying a new piece of furniture, going to visit out-of-town friends, or taking a vacation. Be sure to list a reward when setting each goal. Track your lifestyle habits: Many people are unaware of how inactive they are, how many grams of saturated fat, trans fat, and milligrams of cholesterol they eat and how their negative thinking triggers negative feelings. Keeping a daily log will show the patterns that contribute to your health risks. Tracking personal habits will help you develop a plan of action specific to your loved one’s particular needs. It also helps keep motivation high. Manage trigger events: “The devil made me do it!” Not likely. But there are things in people’s lives that may cause them to do certain things without thinking. For example, an open bag of potato chips on the counter may trigger snacking, even though your loved one isn’t hungry. Or being tired after a long day at work may trigger you to think that you’re too tired to go for a walk after dinner. What triggers one person may not trigger another. The key is to find out what your loved one’s triggers are — and then plan ways to avoid or cope with them. See all progress as perfect: Making changes takes time. One way to keep your loved one motivated is to keep records. It’s fun to look back and

see the progress you’ve both made. Keep a chart or make a graph for recording changes made in cholesterol and blood pressure levels, minutes of physical activity each day, number of grams of saturated fat, trans fat, and milligrams of cholesterol eaten each day, etc. Put a check mark on the calendar for each day your loved one meets a goal. You can also post a list of major milestones on your refrigerator or bathroom mirror to remind you both of your successes. These may include the first time your loved one walked a mile without stopping, reduced his or her blood pressure level 10 points, started driving again, or got dressed without help. Talk yourself into success: Believe it or not, your loved one maintains an internal conversation all the time. So do you. It’s perfectly natural to talk to yourself. It’s what you say that’s important. In fact, self-talk is critical to changing your lifestyle habits. Look at the examples below. Which person do you think will be more successful in the long run? Self-talk situation: A person gets home too late from work to go for a nightly walk. Negative Self-Talker “I am so mad that I got home so late. Now I have to miss my walk. I’m never going to get my weight down if I keep missing my walks. This is so hard — I’m not sure I can do it.” Positive Self-Talker “What a day! I’m bummed that I missed my walk tonight, but I got a lot done at the office. I’ll just get up earlier tomorrow to fit in an extra walk.” Live through lapses: Many people expect change to happen overnight, but people rarely go smoothly from one readiness stage to the next. Your loved one will have good days and bad days. He or she will make some progress and then may slip back a little. This is all part of change. It’s a “two steps forward, one step back” process. However, you can help reduce the likelihood of a lapse. For example, you can plan ahead for high-risk situations. Certain people, places, events or situations sometimes trigger a lapse. If you and your loved one can see them coming (such as the holiday season), you can plan ways to avoid them altogether or to minimize their impact. When a lapse happens, don’t let your loved one get discouraged (remember the positive self-talk). Learn from the lapse and get back on track as soon as possible.

How can I be involved? Making decisions with your doctor National Institute on Aging National Institutes on Health n important thing to work on with your doctor is making decisions about your care. Ask about different treatments — You will benefit most from a treatment when you know what is happening and are involved in making decisions. Make sure you understand what your treatment involves and what it will or will not do. Have the doctor give you directions in writing and feel free to ask questions. For example:“What are the pros and cons of having surgery at this stage?” or “Do I have any other choices?” If your doctor suggests a treatment that makes you uncomfortable, ask if there are other treatments that might work. If cost is a concern, ask the doctor if less expensive choices are available. The doctor can work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs. Here are some things to remember when deciding on a treatment: • Discuss choices. There are different ways to manage many health conditions, especially chronic conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol. Ask what your options are. • Discuss risks and benefits. Once you know your options, ask about the pros and cons of each one. Find out what side effects might occur, how long the treatment would continue, and how likely it is that the treatment will work for you. • Consider your own values and circumstances. When thinking about the pros and cons of a treatment, don’t forget to consider its impact on your overall life. For instance, will one of the side effects interfere with a regular activity that means a lot to you? Is one treatment choice expensive and not covered by your insurance? Doctors need to know about these practical matters and can work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.

Ask about prevention — Doctors and other health professionals may suggest you change your diet, activity level, or other aspects of your life to help you deal with medical conditions. Research has shown that these changes, particularly an increase in exercise, have positive effects on overall health. Until recently, preventing disease in older people received little attention. But things are changing. We now know that it’s never too late to stop smoking, improve your diet, or start exercising. Getting regular checkups and seeing other health professionals such as dentists and eye specialists helps promote good health. Even people who have chronic diseases, like arthritis or diabetes, can prevent further disability and, in some cases, control the progress of the disease. If a certain disease or health condition runs in your family, ask your doctor if there are steps you can take to help prevent it. If you have a chronic condi-

tion, ask how you can manage it and if there are things you can do to prevent it from getting worse. If you want to discuss health and disease prevention with your doctor, say so when you make your next appointment. This lets the doctor plan to spend more time with you. It is just as important to talk with your doctor about lifestyle changes as it is to talk about treatment. For example: “I know that you’ve told me to eat more dairy products, but they really disagree with me. Is

there something else I could eat instead?” or “Maybe an exercise class would help, but I have no way to get to the senior activity center. Is there something else you could suggest?” Just as with treatments, consider all the alternatives, look at pros and cons, and remember to take into account your own point of view. Tell your doctor if you feel his or her suggestions won’t work for you and explain why. Keep talking with your doctor to come up with a plan that works.

Davis Hospital introduces cancer center LAYTON — Tomotherapy Treatment, a system using a CT scanner designed to direct radiation from all angles around a patient, uses beams that conform to tumors and minimize healthy tissue damage. Davis Hospital and Medical Center has opened a new cancer treatment center that uses tomotherapy treatment. The treatment focuses on the tumor itself and shrinking it through radiation beams that attack from all angles. The beams concentrate directly on the tumors. “Tomotherapy technology allows for dose distribution that conforms to tumors like never before,” said radiation oncologist with Gamma West Cancer Services, Dr. Rob Harris. Computerized axial tomography is also knows as CAT scanning. It is used to demonstrate a three-dimensional view of the inside of any given object. Newer technology allows more precise radiation around the object, minimizing any harm given.

Local small businesses land major contracts BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper News Editor KAYSVILLE — The economy may be in a downturn, but a public/private partnership is working to build new business, new jobs for local businesses. Two Davis County examples highlight new contracts and work amounting to several hundred thousand dollars. Ensign Global Solutions (EGS), a Kaysville aerospace technology company, has landed multiple contracts worth at least $150,000. They have to do with a large helicopter fleet operator and CAL FIRE, with a chance more opportunities may occur for the business, says Kori Ann Edwards. vice president with Shipley Associates, here. EGS has initiated new technology that has gained significant recognition within the commercial rotor aircraft marketplace. That expertise was shared with representatives from the Governors Office of Economic Development (GOED) and the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC). “As a small business with limited resources, we couldn’t be happier with the results of our association with Utah’s procurement team, and all at no cost to us,” said Robert D. Sadler, EGS president.

“Because of the expert advice, assistance and contacts made for us by the team, we have achieved in six months’ time what it would have taken us six years to accomplish alone,” he said. The PTAC team, which also includes the Utah Defense Alliance, works to promote business opportunities for Utah businesses. In this area, that often includes special emphasis on Hill Air Force Base. The state’s largest single site employer awards several billion dollars of contracts each year, ranging from lawn mowing to complex aircraft and other components, there. A partnership between national defense contractor EG&G and PARC, the Pioneer Adult Rehabilitation Center, has resulted in a fiveyear contract. PARC provides training and services to people with mental and physical disabilities within the county. The contract is with HAFB for a Defense Logistics Agency distribution and warehousing program. The material handling contract is valued at $190,000. “Without the assistance and advice from the procurement team, we (PARC) would not have been able to secure the contract as the (government) process was unfamiliar and new to us,” said Merri Ann Perkins, PARC

public information manager. These two contracts are examples of relatively small contracts (under $200,000), that benefit a fledgling Kaysville company and a facility that trains and assists hundreds of disabled individuals. PTAC provides mentoring, coaching, and technical assistance with bidding and working on contracts, Edwards said. “We work to bring revenue to the state,” which can result in high-paying jobs averaging $50,000 a year or more – or more than onethird above the state’s average wage. “We are helping keep money here, with Utah businesses,” she said. “Small business is the backbone of our economy,” said Mike Newton, a retired brigadier general who is now a consultant with Shipley Associates. It can mean partnering small businesses with larger, well-known firms – sometimes landing contracts worth $50 million or more, said Fred G. Lange, Utah Procurement Technical Assistance Center director. “If they’re a part of the team, it’s so much easier than having to go after business on their own,” he said, as was the case with Kaysville’s EGS. tbusselberg@davisclipper.com

Man sentenced in bizarre case BY MELINDA WILLIAMS Clipper Staff Writer FARMINGTON — Late last February, a man high on cocaine threatened a couple with a gun in North Salt Lake, demanding they drive him to the nearest police station. On Monday the man, David Richard Coffin was sentenced to a year in jail in 2nd District Court. Coffin, 39, was also sentenced to a drug recovery program after he serves his jail sentence, and three years of probation. Coffin was at a party with about 10 people at the North Salt Lake home, and was feeling threatened, but because vehicles belonging to other guests blocked him from

departing, he put a gun to the head of the owner of one of the vehicles and demanded to be taken to the nearest police station. Instead of driving to the North Salt Lake Police station, the victims drove to the Utah Highway Patrol Office in Farmington, where Trooper Eric White was sitting his vehicle. A screaming woman began tapping at his car window yelling, “They’re trying to kill us.” White said his first thought was that the woman may be the victim of a road rage situation, but it turned out to be a kidnapping, allegedly precipitated by drug use. “I don’t know why they didn’t drive to the North Salt

Police Station, Bountiful or Centerville,” White said at the time of the incident. “Drugs will do strange things to people.” White said they told him they knew the highway patrol office was just off the interstate. White found two men in the car, a handgun between them. They handed the weapon over to White and Coffin was arrested, initially on charges of aggravated kidnapping. Several drug charges were later added. In a plea deal, Coffin pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and two two drug charges, all third-degree felonies.

The hospital then uses built-in CT scanning to confirm the shape and position of the tumor before treatment begins. Tomotherapy treatment will reduce radiation expo-

sure to healthy surrounding tissue, which in turn reduces the damage done to those healthy tissues. “This technology is the leading edge of cancer treatment,” said Harris.

The technology allows clinicians to check the size, shape and location of any given tumor before each treatment begins. Images from day to day are compared with the previous day’s image and treatment is planned out. Clinicians make sure radiation will be directed to where it needs to be. Daily CT images are also used to analyze the tumor. Clinicians may decide to modify a patient’s treatment at any given point after analyzing the images. “The insight that is afforded by the daily CT imaging helps us to know that radiation will reach the tumor as planned, and exposure to healthy tissue organs is minimized along the way,” said Harris. The new service opened on Monday at Davis Hospital and Medical Center in Layton. Those interested in tomotherapy as a treatment for cancer diagnosis or evaluation may call 807-7777 for more information. sroberts@davisclipper.com

Schedule revamped for I-15 EXPRESSLINK Stormy weather has caused the Utah Department of Transportation to revise its schedule for I-15 EXPRESSLINK project work. And even the revised schedule is subject to change if the weather turns stormy. Weather permitting, the northbound on-ramp to I-15 at 1100 North in Salt Lake County, will close Thursday at 8 p.m. and open Friday at 9 a.m. Then on Friday, the northbound off-ramp of I15 to 2300 North will close from 8 pm. until 5 a.m. In both instances, crews will be placing barriers along the ramp in preparation for shoulder widening. On Sunday, the northbound on-ramps from 2300 North and from U.S. 89 will close at 2 p.m. and will reopen at 5 p.m. UDOT asks motorists to take an alternate route such as 600 North or Beck Street.

All along the project speed limits will be reduced as people and vehicles will be working on or near the roadways. UDOT advises motorists to plan extra travel time and to watch for road crews. Crews will be putting barriers in place through Jan. 16 to close the shoulder of I-15 from 500 North in Salt Lake City to I-215.Work will continue behind the barrier through May. Crews will also be working on the shoulder and medians of I-15, and the bridges over U.S. 89 and Beck Street during non-peak hours through January. The I-15 EXPRESSLINK project will add one lane in each direction to I-15 along a 4.5 mile stretch of road in each direction from I-215 in Davis County to 600 North in Salt Lake County. mwilliams@davisclipper.com

The sliding boards Interact students will be making allow a person to slide from a wheel chair to a bed or couch and are 30”x76”x1”.
